Announcing OrbiterMicroNode: A New Client Framework for Node.JS

OrbiterMicroNode is a new framework for creating Union client applications with JavaScript that run in the Node.JS server environment. With OrbiterMicroNode, you can create Union load testers, automated clients, and two-way communication bridges between Node.JS and Union. Push live data feeds directly from Node.JS to Union and vice versa, or implement client logic for scenario testing and distributed AI—all with server-side JavaScript.

The release includes a chat bot example and a load test example.

OrbiterMicroNode is built on an upcoming release of OrbiterMicro, Union Platform's framework for creating client applications with JavaScript. As of version 1.0.2 OrbiterMicro can now run outside the web browser environment. OrbiterMicroNode gives you full access to the underlying OrbiterMicro client framework, making it trivial to port real-world client applications from the web browser to automated server-side testing suites.
